I would absolutely LOVE to see Buz explain the physics behind his "vapor canopy."
- How the equivalent amount of water could be suspended in the upper atmosphere without causing debilitating pressures beneath
- How the equivalent amount of water could precipitate without poaching the earth's atmosphere
- How the equivalent amount of water could possibly affect the decay rates of multiple radioactive isotopes in a congruent fashion.
- How the equivalent amount of water could possibly allow enough light to traverse to foster photosynthesis at the earth's surface.
Buzsaw's vapor canopy does exist (except for the affecting decay rates part). The problem is that planet is not Earth, it is Venus.
Yeah, I know, virtually no water vapor and lots of carbon dioxide, but that is what happens when a planet gets 'poached.'
One should remember, the Buzsaw (Woodmorappe) hypothesis is literally "out of this world," meaning it has nothing remotely rational to do with this planet or its inhabitants.
It is about Venus.
The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.
